Series History: NDC has won all 11 contests in its series against Urbana dating back to 2011. The Falcons hold a 9-1-1 record against Concord.  
 
Noting the Falcons: Both victories for NDC this season have come in overtime with a 1-0 win against West Liberty and a 2-1 win against Wheeling Jesuit. After starting the season 0-3, the Falcons have won two of their last three competitions.
 
Noting the Blue Knights: Urbana is just one win away from tying its win total from a year ago. And just six games into the season, the Blue Knights should pass that mark by the end of the year. But both wins in 2018 have come at home. Urbana is 0-3 on the road and will face a Falcon squad they have yet to defeat.
 
Noting the Mountain Lions: After four games, Concord leads the Mountain East Conference with 28 goals, averaging four goals per game. Only three teams in the MEC average more than three goals, but neither of the other two come close to CU's four, with the next closest team at a 3.17 mark. The Mountain Lions spread the ball out well as eight of their players have score multiple goals this season.
